I saw King Crimson during their Discipline tour in 1981(?) at Cullen Auditorium at University of Houston.  My college room mate and I drove in to see the show.  Amazing.  Imagine our confusion when we realized our minds were blown but we still had all of our drugs.

Saw kc in maybe 95 when they had a six piece with Bruford and levin in the lineup. Larks tongues in aspic ii. Was best I ever heard. Belew was perfect front man. Never saw anyone have that much fun playing. 

I've been playing the Belew catalog on Grooveshark and I am just amazed at the variety. I mainly know of his hi gain guitar antics and incredibly original style.

When I was a youngster I aspired to use feedback and sustain the way he does.

Now I am discovering that the soft acoustic stuff he does takes my breath away. He's got the whole enchilada.

Just to add to the general melange...Happy Family, Acid Mothers Temple, Devin Townsend, Faust, Guru Guru, Neu, Richard Pinhas, Heldon, Popul Vuh.... 

 A couple years back Belew pulled a reverse Dave Grohl and migrated from guitar to electronic drum kit for some work with Fripp.  A true renaissance progger.  And he does seem to tap into high voltage sense of joy when we plays.  Told about not holding anything back.

Space Cowboy:  have you heard any of Bruford's solo work from the early 80's?  He had Allan Holdsworth in the guitar slot.

Thanks to all the posters with suggestions for bands to check out.  Two thumbs up.
